Official Career Storm

Chapter 1699: Chapter 1699

Yao Linghua looked at them, waited for their frightened expressions to settle down, then sighed and said, "You two should be prepared mentally, Director Song might discipline you."

"Discipline us?" The two were both surprised and puzzled: "Why?"

They had just met Song Guanchao today and had never offended this person, so why would he want to discipline them?

Yao Linghua said, "You were late."

"What?" The two widened their eyes in disbelief.

Just for being late, they would be disciplined?

It’s utterly ridiculous!

Yao Linghua gave them a deep look, then went to arrange work.

She still had to list those companies and adjust the surveillance, so she was quite busy.

As for the discipline for these two, she wasn’t just saying alarmist things to scare them.

Yao Linghua was at least a deputy director and viewed things from a different angle, understanding the situation more delicately than they did.

It was clear to her that Song Guanchao was so serious with these two, not just because of the tardiness.

This Director Song was probably beginning to suspect that someone in this office had accepted benefits from the polluting enterprises and planned to fish them out.

"Could it really be that we will be disciplined?" After Yao Linghua left, the young man frowned and said.

The young woman snorted lightly and said, "I’ve never heard of getting disciplined for being late."

After speaking, she nonchalantly returned to her workstation.

Meanwhile, Sun Jiajun arrived at the City Committee.

He had received a call from Zhou Zheng in the morning, asking him to come over, but not knowing the reason.

"Secretary Zhou." Sun Jiajun sat down.

Zhou Zheng said solemnly, "Have you heard about the pollution issue in the High-tech Zone, Mayor Sun?"

Sun Jiajun was a bit surprised; was this the reason for finding him?

He nodded: "I’ve heard about it; Mayor Wu held a special meeting on this issue just yesterday afternoon."

"Oh?" Zhou Zheng was quite surprised: "What did Mayor Wu say?"

"Mayor Wu established a supervisory team, and it’s probably already investigating the park at this moment."

"Mayor Wu was quite quick to respond." Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "I’m afraid this issue won’t be easy to handle."

Sun Jiajun feigned ignorance: "Why do you say that, Secretary Zhou?"

Zhou Zheng said, "The park is under Mayor Chang’s management, isn’t it?"

"Yes."

"Then do you know whose person Mayor Chang is?"

Sun Jiajun shook his head, starting to get a feel for the situation. Zhou Zheng was worried he might inadvertently offend Governor Yang and came specially to remind him.

"Mayor Chang was promoted by Governor Yang, and this park was established by Governor Yang back in the day."

Zhou Zheng said earnestly, "While the City Government handles the pollution issue, be very mindful of the impact. Although Governor Yang is retired, back in the day, he was the Mayor of Jiangzhou, and Jiangzhou’s economy today owes much to Mr. Yang. When handling the matter, also consider Mr. Yang’s feelings."

Although these words were indirect, the intended meaning was fully conveyed.

Sun Jiajun understood crystal clear in his mind but still pretended to look puzzled on the surface: "Which Governor Yang are you referring to, Secretary Zhou?"

"Governor Yang Gaolin."

"Has he already retired?"

"He’s retired many years ago." Zhou Zheng said, "Although Mr. Yang is retired, his contribution to Jiangzhou cannot be ignored. Throughout Jiangzhou and even the whole Nanjiang Province, there are countless officials that were promoted by Mr. Yang. So be mindful of the impact."

Sun Jiajun feigned an enlightened expression: "I see, I understand, thank you, Secretary Zhou for the reminder."

He then showed a troubled expression: "But I’m afraid I can’t handle this matter. Mayor Wu has already formed an investigatory team, showing a posture of thorough investigation. I’ve only been in Jiangzhou for about a month, and fear that I hold little influence..."

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "How it’s handled is Mayor Wu’s business, but often, the attitude is more important."

Sun Jiajun nodded thoughtfully and took his leave.

He certainly understood the attitude Zhou Zheng talked about, and he had been acting accordingly.

He had already expressed his opinion at the meeting yesterday afternoon.

When Wu Qiangwei’s handling suggestions come out later, he would once again clearly express his attitude.

But after all, he was just a newly appointed Vice Mayor, and couldn’t make the decisions.

This was exactly what Zhou Zheng meant by attitude being important.

As long as he expressed his attitude in important venues, later on, Governor Yang would only vent his anger on Wu Qiangwei, while he could earn Governor Yang’s favor.

"Secretary Zhou seems to be helping me, but in reality, he hopes I don’t get too close to Mayor Wu." Sun Jiajun chuckled, not believing Zhou Zheng was purely looking out for him.

...

"Hello, Inspection Team? I want to report..."

The hotline of the Inspection Team received a report call.

Such report calls come in every day; the operators have grown tired of listening.

"Alright, please leave your name and phone number..."

The operator noted the informant’s name and phone number, organized the reported content recorded in the morning, and sent it to the group chat of the Inspection Team.

Su Rong saw this report information and immediately clicked to open it.

For similar reports, most inspectors don’t even bother to look.

Since they are all anonymous reports and can’t determine if the content is true, verifying them would be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

They already have limited manpower and can’t waste a lot of time on a bunch of unknown, unverified anonymous reports.

But Su Rong wasn’t afraid of trouble; she specifically instructed the operators to summarize the daily reports and send them to the group.

Because she wanted to know if anyone was reporting Song Guanchao.

If there were any, regardless of the truth, she would investigate thoroughly.

"The pollution in the chemical park of the High-tech Zone..."

Su Rong stared at this report content, her eyes brightened.

This report was unrelated to Song Guanchao.

But the chemical park falls under the City Government’s jurisdiction, and if the pollution is severe and the City Government doesn’t handle it promptly or poorly, the major leaders of the City Government would be held accountable.

Su Rong sharply sensed the potential maneuverability within this.

At this moment, a message popped up from Du Canyang: "Xiao Su, want to go out for a coffee?"

Su Rong looked up toward another area of the office and happened to meet Du Canyang’s smiling eyes.

She closed the computer, picked up her bag, and got up to walk out.

Two minutes later, Du Canyang followed behind and left.

Their office location was right at the guesthouse, making dining, living, and commuting very convenient.

Leader Hong was busier; as the leader of the Inspection Team, he would take his people to various departments in Jiangzhou every day to understand the situation.

The other members also had their tasks; some needed to go to the Disciplinary Committee, some to the police...

Perhaps Leader Hong deliberately arranged for Su Rong to stay at the guesthouse, mainly responsible for handling reports.

This was the most leisurely job.

They left the guesthouse and came to a nearby cafe.

Du Canyang pinched the coffee cup, took a sip, and said, "Did you see the report contents the operator just sent?"

Jiang Rong shook her head: "What’s there to see."

Hearing this, Du Canyang chuckled, a hint of showing off on his face: "There is an interesting item in today’s report content."

Jiang Rong had long seen through his mind, and upon hearing this, cooperated with a look of curiosity: "Is it a real-name report?"

"No, it’s anonymous." Du Canyang said, "But don’t think anonymous reports are meaningless. The value of a report lies in its content, not in whether it’s a real name or anonymous."

Seeing Jiang Rong uninterested, Du Canyang didn’t continue to tease and said directly, "This report content might have some impact on that Song Guanchao."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Rong’s eyes brightened.
